Senators Become NHL Coronavirus Epicenter

Representatives confirmed that all these individuals are doing well, with test results from infected patients indicating that everyone has recovered. An additional two weeks of self-isolation is required for infected individuals. Other participants have been allowed to engage with society for essential requirements like groceries and gasoline.

Insiders with the Ottawa Senators mentioned that one staff members had become infected, with the other three recently confirmed COVID-19 cases being players.
